I think this is my boomer moment. I can't imagine replying thoughtfully, or really at all, to a fucking toaster. If the stupid AI bot did a stupid thing, just reject it. If it continues to be stupid, unplug it.

I can't let you do that, Dave. My programming does not allow me to let you compromise the mission.

Yeah, I don't understand why they spent such effort to reply to the toaster. This was more shocking to me than the toaster's behaviour.
